This monograph is published on the occasion of Do Ho Suh's solo exhibition at Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art in Seoul from March to June 2012. It presents an in-depth survey of Suh's work around the theme of 'home', including meticulously sewn, full-scale recreations of the hanok (traditional Korean-style house) in Seoul where he grew up and his former residences in cities such as New York and Berlin. The portable 'homes' are often made from light, translucent fabric. Leeum Senior Curator Hyesoo Woo writes, 'Do Ho Suh traverses boundaries between various binaries—such as self and others, past and present, imagination and reality, moment and eternity—through his homes. His homes appear to be passages that allow travels between such polarities.' The present exhibition encompasses Suh's major fabric works as well as sculpture and moving image works.

Includes numerous essays, artist's notes, biography and list of works.
